Naked Beauty Electrolysis FAQ
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis hair removal sends an electric current to each hair follicle through a fine probe. Each hair is treated individually and gently removed with tweezers. This method is precise, effective, and FDA-approved for permanent hair removal.
What are the different types of Electrolysis?
There are three main modalities used in electrolysis:
- Thermolysis – Uses heat energy to destroy the cells that cause hair growth.
- Galvanic – Uses a direct current to create a chemical reaction in the follicle.
- Blend – Combines both thermolysis and galvanic methods for maximum effectiveness.
Can Electrolysis help with PCOS or hormonal hair growth?
Yes. Electrolysis is highly effective for clients with PCOS or other hormone-related hair growth conditions. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, treatment plan, and what to expect in terms of progress and regrowth.
Is Electrolysis the same as Laser Hair Removal?
No. The two methods work very differently:
- Laser uses a beam of light to treat larger areas at once, but only reduces hair—it does not eliminate it permanently.
- Electrolysis uses a probe to treat each follicle individually and permanently.
Electrolysis vs. Laser: What’s the difference?
- Electrolysis is the only permanent method for all hair colors (including gray and blond) and all skin types.
- Laser requires contrast between skin and hair color and is ineffective on gray or light hair.
- Laser can be useful for quickly thinning large areas like the back or legs but may require frequent maintenance.
Can I tweeze, wax, or shave before electrolysis?
No. Hair must be visible and long enough to grasp with tweezers during treatment.
If you shave for a special event, wait until hair regrows before scheduling your next appointment.
Is hair gone after one session?
Not yet. Multiple treatments are needed for permanent results. Timing varies based on the treatment area, hair density, health conditions, and consistency with appointments.
How many treatments will I need?
Refer to our Treatment Time Chart for estimated timeframes. Results vary from person to person, but with regular appointments and proper aftercare, you’ll see steady progress.
Why share medical conditions with my Electrologist?
For your safety. Certain health conditions can affect treatment. In some cases, we may require a doctor’s note before starting services.
What is Paradoxical Hypertrichosis?
This is an occurrence of laser treatments triggering new hair growth in previously dormant follicles, meaning there was an area on the skin that didn’t grow hair before, but hair growth was activated after laser treatments. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal solution for this type of occurrence.
What is the cancellation policy at Naked Beauty Electrolysis?
